“Attackers get better every day and differentiating the bad from the
good is a constant battle. Adding to the detection challenge, security
teams are almost universally short-staffed, and any time spent
investing false positives takes away from pursing legitimate threats,”
said Michelle Salvado, vice president of endpoint engineering at
FireEye. “FireEye’s unique differentiator is the extensive
intelligence gained from the front lines of cybersecurity, including
responding to incidents, breach intelligence, and machine
intelligence. Our focus is on integrating that intelligence to
constantly improve our anti-malware engines, like our machine learning
and behavioral analysis models, to detect the latest malicious
techniques – and when FireEye Endpoint triggers an alert, our
customers know it’s worth investigating.”

Eliminate False-Positive Fatigue

False alerts are costly to any security operation. They take away
limited analyst time and bury real threats underneath thousands of
non-critical ones. The manual nature of reviewing these alerts puts a
huge burden on companies in the form of wasted analyst time and alert
fatigue among those responsible for protecting an organization. The
additional maintenance work also increases the complexity of
deployment and can increase the total cost of solution ownership.

To earn the Approved Business Product Award, tested products must
score at least 90 percent in the Malware Protection Test and at least
90 percent in the overall Real-World Protection Test over the course
of four months with zero false alarms on common business software.
Tested products must also avoid major performance issues and have
fixed all reported bugs in order to gain certification. Results showed
that FireEye had zero false positives, while simultaneously protecting
against 99.7 percent of malware, and 99.3 percent of real-world scenarios.
